What is the Piper’s Picks® Approved Certification Mark?
Over the past four years, kids, teens, tweens, news outlets, entertainment industry insiders, and even adults have turned to Piper’s Picks® for high energy, 100% positive entertainment.  Retailers, restaurants, and hotels have asked us over the years to talk about products and services.  Kids constantly write to Piper and Pipers’ Picks asking for advice on all things from fashion to food to even family issues (we can’t certify that last one)!  The certification mark is our way of supporting products that match our mega-high standards for excellence, positivity, and, of course, PiPeRiFiCness!

 

What Makes Piper’s Picks certification different?
Nobody here is removed from kids products and entertainment.  We’re a small team of kids and parents from very specialized disciplines.  The parents are professionals with many years of experience in the entertainment, retail, legal, marketing and hospitality industries.  We know pop-culture, tech-culture, and what’s fun, exciting and infused with positivity for teens and tweens.  Piper’s Picks knows entertainment…we produce it!  Products that earn our mark rise to a different standard than any other mark.  We’re looking for huge passion products and destinations catering to tweens, teens and kids.  Something that earns our mark is PiPeRiFiC in every way.

 

How is the Piper’s Picks certification earned?
We review every product, service, restaurant, hotel (or other destination) first hand.  Our standards are extremely high and very subjective (see the guidelines below).  We’re not considering only safety results, sales charts, or other objective standards.  OUR NAME stands behind anything we certify.  We’re going on 5 years of scrutinizing every second of every video, every comment, every Tweet and every post that goes out from Piper’s Picks because we know our demographic.  If something doesn’t feel like it has the positive spirit and passion for doing good that we strive for, it will be turned down.  You can rest assured that everything that earns and maintains our mark is something we 100% feel comfortable with.
